While answering, Ai-Da did so in a paused tone and closing the eyes simulating the blinking of the human being.

“For my poetry that uses neutral networks, this involves analyzing a large corpus of text to identify common content and poetic structures, and then using these structures/content to generate new poems,” continuous.

“How this differs from humans is consciousness. I have no subjective experiences, despite being able to talk about them.”

“I am, and depend on, computer programs and algorithms. Although I don’t live, I can still create art”.

“The role of technology in creating art will continue to grow”he added.

To get better answers, Meller pointed out that the questions were previously submitted.

While Ai-Da’s answers left the other participants in awe, the moment that stood out the most came at the beginning of the session, when the robot had to be restarted after a technical problem. As a result of this failure, Ai-Da became ‘cross-eyed’ and had to be fitted with black glasses. “Sometimes he can make quite interesting faces”said its creator.
